gouldian super food

[dutch]

Warning feeding this super food to gouldians may have the following side effect

Your gouldian becomes more powerfull than the all mighty zebra finch

If keeping zebras with Goulds on this diet....hire the zebras a bodyguard. ....they will need it

What have you got growing there, Dutch my friend? Are we talking about the greens, or the cute little ball?

So tell us, what is this super gouldian food you're growing? Looks like some sort of super weed

[dan78]

Looks like millet in the green seed phase. Great for all birds and mine devour it quickly. Also the leaves are great for ggouldians to nest with as mine love broad leaf grasses as nesting material.

dan78....not just millet. ....canary and all the others that come in a bag of finch mix...

My goulds eat the seed..stem and leaf....the whole plant

That's a super good idea.

You know, I was thinking of trying something like that next Summer, but in planters.
Last winter, I was blowing my hulls and I guess some seeds as well over my lawn, never giving it much thought. I figured that the wild birds would get them, but instead they were buried under the snow.
In the Spring, all of a sudden, I had all these wierd grasses and strange things growing all over my lawn. Birds, both outdoors and indoors went wild over them, which gave me the idea (only I decided that planters would be a better choice than my poor lawn).

How is 'baby bird' doing?

lovezebs...works well in planters also

Baby birds doing excellent sleeps all day..only waking to feed

At night she sleeps 3 hrs between feeds....the perfect baby

lovezebs (Elana), I have a patch like that too! LOL

Haha I throw mine over the fence into the gravel drive for the wild birds to pick through but I inevitably get some growing up against the fence. They all seem to like it.
